Christmas fun!!!

Our Christmas was full of lots of fun. It all started on Christmas Eve evening when Isabel got a surprise visit from Santa Claus!!! We told Isabel that maybe Santa would stop by if he had time, but there were no promises...so Isabel immediately got to work. She drew Santa a picture and helped get cookies ready for him and the reindeer. And then she kept asking, "is Santa here?? Is he coming??". And then there was a knock at the door...Isabel opened up the door and couldn't believe her eyes!! It was Santa!! He only stayed for a few moments, but long enough for Isabel to get a gift and for her to give Santa his "presents". It was soo cute to see her excitement and shock.


After our "special" Santa visit we were off to my moms house for my family's Christmas party. We, of course, were the last ones to show up and as we pulled up to the house we couldn't help but laugh. There was more than 10 cars parked at my moms house....and for those of you who don't know, my moms house is tiny!!! It was soo much fun seeing the whole family together and watching everyone stealing chairs from each other...haha! We had our annual Christmas exchange, which keeps getting more fun each year. Its fun to buy a gift for someone you wouldn't normally buy for and fun to recieve a gift from someone you wouldn't normally recieve one from. Jason and I both got slippers....we desperately needed some and Isabel got some new PJ's.


On Christmas Day morning the festivities continued. My parents and my sister and her family came over for present time!! My mom gave us the best present ever....breakfast tacos..yummy!! Isabel then handed out presents to everyone one at a time as we all watched them open the presents with excitment. This was very fun for Isabel because she bought presents for everyone, she picked them out all by herself. And I think everyone was happy with their little gifts...especially dad who got a suprise gift (some sort of pull-up, work-out contraction, only Jason would enjoy a present like that). After present time we pulled out Scrabble...our new favorite game. The rest of the day Jason, Isabel, and I spent playing with toys, watching movies, and enjoying our own little ham dinner. It was a perfect, wonderful, Christmas day:-)
